However, there remains a paucity of data on the burden of hypothyroidism among the general population of children and adolescents in the region. Galukande et al. conducted a study among young presumably healthy adults attending undergraduate studies at Makerere University in Uganda and found the ...

In adults, many of the common symptoms of hypothyroidism are nonspecific; that is, they are present in many euthyroid patients. Therefore, accurate assays to definitively determine the serum concentrations of T4 (low) and TSH (high if the pituitary responds normally to impaired thyroid function) ...
A meta-analysis was published in November 2020 on hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy [10]. That study found the prevalence of hypothyroidism to be 29.9%, as well as several risk factors for its development. Our report aimed to build on the previous analysis in several regards. Firstly, that...
The prevalence of hypothyroidism in this study is much lower than other reported frequencies in SA probably because of the selected young age group of our college students and the inclusion of hypothyroid patients under treatment. Our result is in line with a study con...
Levothyroxine is preferred; the usual maintenance dose is 75 to 150 mcg orally once a day, depending on age, body mass index, and absorption (for pediatric treatment, see Hypothyroidism in Infants and Children). In young or middle-aged patients who are otherwise healthy, the starting dose of...
Cretinism has all but disappeared. The same with goiter in newborns and children – almost totally eradicated. The goiter reversal was significant in young men as well, albeit at a slower rate. Interesting to note is that some Cantons didn’t switch to iodized salt until 1952. The incidence...

A recent Dutch study found worsened motor performance in young adults diagnosed on neonatal screening with CH, the degree of impairment correlating with the severity of hypothyroidism (Kempers et al., 2006). If CH is permanent, lifelong treatment is required. In transient CH euthyroidism is...
